|
|
Wow- It's been 2 months since our last show, and things have been so crazy that I never did a write up about it:-/ Now, let's see if I can remember back that far! Well, from our standpoint, the show went very smoothly. The layout was our largest to (...) (18 years ago, 20-May-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

(...) Oops:-/ Hey, Paul- Been away from LUGNET for a while and missed your post. It would have been nice to meet up, although it wouldn't have worked out on Wednesday for me anyway-- I had a gig already. Next time, though!

(...) Cool, but I did you ever tell us about this one (which shares a gallery with your concertina wagon)? (URL) is also very nice, and I don't think I've seen 1x3 bricks with bow used that way before. Thanks for the inspiration, Chris (18 years ago, 20-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) Per above, I have added a bit more detailing to my LDD model. I added side steps and rails to the cab's side "doors". I extended the tender and added an access ladder and some marklights on the back... I would ideally use 1X3 smooth curves on (...) (18 years ago, 20-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Concertina wagon... and a whole lot of SNOT
|
|
(URL) Hi all, This remarkably plain wagon has a deadly secret inside... it's filled with SNOT!!!! I wanted to do the concertina effect very subtly which meant half plate differences in two directions at once in addition to the half plate height (...)

| | What size do you build your five-wide containers?
|
|
Hi all, As a recent convertee to five-wide containers I'm really curious what dimensions other people working with that width use. At present I'm using a 5x12 footprint (or larger multiples of six for larger containers), a main height of 5 bricks (...) (18 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Bruce Chamberlain postulated that the problem is due to one of the 3-axle trucks being *pushed* through the curve rather than pulled. I suspect that a rubber band between the two 3-axle trucks would help - I will try that sometime. --Bill. (18 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

| | Re: FRED- flashing rear end device
|
|
(...) Solution: don't put the light on the end. Put the light interior to the container, and pipe it to the end using a fiber-optic piece. The size of the flasher (about the size of a stud) would then be more correct, and it could be hidden about as (...) (18 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains)
